Hey guys — onto another weird and wonderful therapy in the hopes to resolve my CRS. This time it’s all about the upper atlas — the top bone in your neck that sits just beneath the skull. Why does it matter? Because when this bone is even slightly out of alignment, it can disrupt both lymphatic drainage and your nervous system — two things that are absolutely critical if you’re trying to calm chronic inflammation anywhere in the head or neck. The atlas surrounds the brainstem, and when misaligned, it can: 🔹 Impede lymphatic flow out of the brain and sinuses — meaning swelling and toxins can get stuck 🔹 Irritate the trigeminal nerve — which could be a hidden trigger for facial tension, sinus issues, or even blinking problems (yep, like mine) 🔹 Affect vagal nerve tone — which impacts digestion, inflammation, sleep, and more 🔹 Contribute to subtle but systemic postural imbalances and muscular tension Some people trace a huge turning point in their CRS journey back to when they corrected an atlas misalignment. For me, there are signs this might be playing a role — one side of my neck is always tighter, lymph feels sluggish, and I’ve got nerve symptoms that don’t totally make sense any other way. So here we go. I’m giving it a go — using CBCT imaging and working with someone trained in upper cervical realignment. The first session is about correcting the misalignment. The follow-ups are to help the body hold that new alignment and stop slipping back into old patterns. If you’ve got chronic sinus inflammation that doesn’t respond to gut work, diet, or antimicrobials — maybe it’s time to think structurally. The body can’t drain what it can’t move. First CBCT assessment is tomorrow — I’ll let you know what I learn!

Mineral balancing is the process of restoring optimal levels and ratios of essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and zinc in the body. These minerals are often called the spark plugs of metabolism—they drive energy production, regulate stress hormones, support digestion, and form the foundation of a strong immune system. I recently had a Hair Mineral Analysis (HMA) done, and the results were incredibly insightful. Unlike blood tests that give a snapshot in time, HMA shows how your body has been handling stress, nutrition, and toxicity over the past 3 months. Some top-line findings from my test: - Low potassium and magnesium, which reflects adrenal fatigue and sluggish energy. - Low zinc and phosphorus, pointing to weak protein synthesis and compromised digestive capacity. - A slow-mixed oxidation pattern—basically, my body is stuck in second gear, trying to generate energy under prolonged stress. - Elevated arsenic and aluminum, suggesting a toxic burden that could be blocking healing. - A high sodium/potassium ratio, associated with acute stress and inflammation. This all confirms what I’ve been feeling physically—but it also gives me a roadmap forward. For the next 12 weeks, I’ll be combining: - A tailored mineral protocol to support adrenal and thyroid function - A low-FODMAP ketogenic diet to reduce gut irritation and stabilise blood sugar - A big focus on rest and parasympathetic recovery Then I’ll retest and see how things are shifting. If you’re struggling with chronic gut issues or immune dysfunction, mineral balancing is 100% worth exploring. It’s not a quick fix—but it builds a real foundation for healing. Anyone else looked into this? Would love to hear your experience.https://mineralbalancing.org/

Hey guys - I’m wondering how many of you have any history of chronically low /low threshold white blood count or neutrophils? Or any other labs out of the ordinary.

Hey guys! A while back I completed a nasal culture test with microbiology labs DX which showed an overgrowth of Staph Aureus, which could potentially be the cause of my CRS. Ive tried many conservative treatments, none of which have had any meaningful results. I found this paper which explores the application of ozone in water & gas form to eradicate Staph Aureus and mature bio films. The gas destroys 99.9% of the bacteria! Take a look at perhaps explore ozone insulffation as a treatment protocol for your CRS or infection! Link to the study here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8781958/

Hey guys, Sharing with you below a lecture from Dr Klinghardt on the importance in oral health, specifically teeth, cavities, and extractions. It's a facinating watch, and bear in mind that infected cavities and impacted wisdom teeth especially in the maxillar have been known to cause Chronic sinus issues (study below). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4000986/
